There was something about Julia that inspired trust and as she reached for
me I offered her my hand. Just as our fingers were about to touch the door
opened and Derek slid into the room, for a moment I paused before returning
my gaze to Julia. "What will happen?" I asked in barely a whisper as I
reached for her once more.
